Is there an answer to this question?

[justlookinla]

Seems so. Is it something that can be weighed?

No, I don't think so. But this begs the question of what is consciousness and what is it's source.

How much does your love weigh, not the weight of those you love.

I can measure the people and why I love them.

The mind-body problem is a topic for the philosophy sub-forum, guys.

No, I don't think so. But this begs the question of what is consciousness and what is it's source.

I suspect that you mean "that invites the question", begging a question used to refer to an error in argumentation that is also called circular reasoning. But I think it invites a whole class of questions including "How much do spirits weigh?" and "How can one detect things that weigh absolutely nothing?"

Interesting idea, I presume the idea is "electrical impulses in the brain". Would one get some thoughts if one ran an electric current through a cadaver's brain?

No the brain tissue would be dead by than and I don't think it would replicate the electrochemical signals the brain uses.

No it doesn't.

I reckon it does belong here. It is all part of deciding what evolved

Did angels evolve, for example?

In essence, who are we?

Yes, it belongs here. What is the evolutionary source for consciousness. For love.

That's less precise, I think.

 

[crjmurray]

How much does your love for those people weigh?

Weigh? I don't know. Is there a standardized weight for love?

 

[MoreCoffee]

Weigh? I don't know. Is there a standardized weight for love?

Try anything from Kg to mg.

 

[justlookinla]

I think it's related to the OP question.

 

[justlookinla]

Weigh? I don't know. Is there a standardized weight for love?

That's the question.

Has anybody got an answer to the first question in the original post?

"Why is logic true?"

I'm not sure logic is true it's such a subjective exercise in thought. I guess if it was pure logic, i.e., not tainted by our subjectivity, then it would be true. It would verity truth.

 

[crjmurray]

That's the question.

Then answer it.

 

[justlookinla]

Then answer it.
